Meet the Sutton Grange Care Home Team

Hi, I'm Nick, I am a Registered Mental Health Nurse here at Sutton Grange,  I joined the team in 2022. 

Prior to joining the team I worked in specialist mental health roles supporting those with learning difficulties and cognitive impairment for over 30 years.  Working with our elderly generation is extremely rewarding and I only wish I'd done it sooner.  Sutton Grange is a special place and I am proud to be part of the team - plus there is never a dull moment.

My Wife and I are lucky enough to share our home with our many dogs, horses and cats.  They all keep me very busy, safe to say we are animal mad!

I have been Head Chef at Sutton Grange since August 2016. Prior to that I worked in another Barchester home in Kent. I have 25 years experience in catering, working in restaurants and at major Blue Ribbon Events. I am responsible for the day to day operations of the kitchen. I also make sure that residents needs and wishes are met and that they are treated in a dignified manner by myself and my team.I am always available to speak to if you require any information.

Hi, I'm Alison.  I am the Activities Co-ordinator here at Sutton Grange, I joined the team in 2016. 

I grew up in the local area and started my career working with animals.  After I had my daughter, and before I joined Barchester, I trained as a teacher and taught lipreading and communication.  The skills I learnt have been invaluable in my role today.

Now, I fill my days spending time with our wonderful Residents, helping them to live their lives to the fullest. I try to make a difference in someone’s life each day.

This is Negan, Sutton Grange's well known Pet Therapy Dog! Negan is 2 years old, and comes to work everyday with Mum Alison, our Activities Assistant.

She loves to spend time with our residents, whether that be playing or keeping them company with a cuddle. Negan also loves to lie in the sun and have a run around our beautiful gardens.

She is usually easy to find, so if you see her on one of your visits, be sure to stop and say hi!
